Amid all these great projects, however, the case of A.L.A. Schechter Poultry Corp. vs. U.S. was working its way through the legal system. The four Schechter brothers, who ran a small kosher poultry business in Brooklyn, had been convicted of several violations of the NRA code, including the sale of diseased poultry. "If I'd known how much this appeal was going to cost," Joseph Schechter later complained of his $60,000 legal fees, "I probably would have gone to jail." But it was this tawdry case that inspired Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, stroking his white beard...
...Steinberg's judgement--and he buttresses it with a formidable array of interior evidence from the work--Proust's Madeleine was in reality a matzo ball, and the past unfolded itself to the Master as he sat hunched over a bowl of chicken soup in Flambaum's, the famous kosher restaurant in Paris..."

She had two older sisters, and her parents refused to let her marry before they did, so she was forced to elope. "We only had 2½ days," she recalls. "We were married on a Tuesday, and I had to be back Friday night to light the candles. My in-laws were very religious." Her husband, who became a manufacturer of burlap bags, died two years ago. "He loved...
Isaac is neither alarmed nor excommunicated; he is merely ignored. To survive he does journalistic hackwork; to amuse himself, he records the conversation of characters who, 40 years later, seem to have just stepped from a kosher cafeteria. A divorcee reduces world conflict to a domestic squabble: "I made the same mistake as our allies are making...
